Hey all I recently upgraded from a Carver HR-722 to the HR-875. Really it was just for more power and I am running it in a 2.1 configuration. My new 875 did not come with a remote and I found one for sale but there was no picture or list of functions that the remote controls. I want to make sure that it will be worth the almost $100 price tag to have the ease of buttons from afar. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. I hope to learn quite a bit here.

Thank you all. I've been looking at the posts for carver fest and I have to say I might be in. Just have to convince the girlfriend since her birthday is that week . Anyway glad to be here, this is the best forum I have ever seen.

Rabbit, just saw this post. I believe it is number 9 but there may be some confusion with the serial numbers. I am also now in need of a lightstar pre-amp remote. Any Ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm, finding one of those could prove extremely difficult at best. What I would do if I were you is keep looking for a remote [you never know when one might pop up]. However in the meantime, purchase a learning remote. The type that will learn commands given from an IR signal. Take that remote and mail it to one of the gentlemen on the forum and have them program it for you. At least that way, you'll have a remote.

BTW, I see I never did welcome you to the forum. Welcome to the forum!
